I love the people going on and on about the music and over-the-top style of a Baz Luhrman flick that's adapting a story all about partying and decadence covering emptiness. Of course it's going to cater to the modern club and pop scenes and evoke the madcap parties of today and yesteryear--aside from being great marketing at getting people into seats it might actually make one or two of them think after they see just how unhappy almost everyone in The Great Gatsby really is.

 I like the contrast between the glossy, airbrushed faces and Wasikowska's hosed up hands.

I liked the other poster for Stoker, the one where the focus is on Wasikowska and Kidman's and Goode's faces could only be seen in the reflection on the table. I'm sure that was an interesting away to get around the contract stipulations, but it probably wasn't enough. For reference...

Every time I see anything for Stoker, for a second I think it's a movie about Bram Stoker. Then I remember it's not, and I get sad.

The trailer for that film was incredibly awkward to watch alone with my favourite uncle. "Oh hey! That one's by the director of Oldboy, I gotta watch the trailer for that." *clicks on the trailer* "Aaaaaand with that I'm going to bed goodnight see you tomorrow!!!"

I wish in that Stoker piano poster it wasn't just a tacked on afterthought to a photoshoot and they actually played up on how reflections work. Like, if you are looking straight at the camera you wouldn't also be looking at the camera in your reflection. It's a new angle, so how about the protagonist girl is looking at us straight-on, with her eyes naturally cast up in the angle of the reflection, but Kidman and other dude are looking at us through the the piano. Here's a feeble edit on the girl to sort of illustrate it.  Of course they have to know what they were doing ahead of time and shoot an upwards facing angle to fake the reflection right.

I am kind of annoyed his actual name is absolutely nowhere to be seen in those posters, he's apparently just "the director of Oldboy". He's a well-known dude, poster people. People who know what Oldboy is very probably know who Park Chan-wook is, as well.

Well, it's 6:45am, and I've been at work for almost 3 hours now. On the Saturday before Christmas. Needless to say, there's nothing to do, so I'm looking at the internet. Came across this and thought you guys might like them. http://www.shortlist.com/entertainment/films/the-10-best-alternative-film-posters-of-2012 I particularly like the Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, and Room 237 ones.

Mister Chief posted:Yeah, it's a real shame that Spike Lee isn't getting his due. I seriously thought at first that Stoker was from whatever no-name director helming the remake and they were just trying to ride on the Oldboy name, but then I realised Spike Lee is directing the remake and everything made even less sense. EDIT: VVV I'm not outraged by it or anything, it just annoyed me a bit. But now that you mention it, the Gatsby posters from a page or two back also just say "From the director of Romeo+Juliet and Moulin Rouge" and make no mention of Luhrman by name, and he's probably an even bigger name than Park. So yeah, I guess it's just a thing that happens. Forktoss fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Dec 22, 2012 |

But who usually gets 'From __ the visionary director of __'? Unless your name has just as much stock as your well known movie it probably doesn't happen. Be glad he got that. The "I Saw The Devil" director has the new Schwarzenegger movie and the guy who did "The Host" has something next year. Let's see if they get that much recognition. The audiences are being directed to his stuff. They're told there's acclaim. It's fine. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 13:24 on Dec 22, 2012 |

It always bothered that Bong Joon-ho is always associated with The Host when Memories of Murder and Mother are both about a million times better.

That's because The Host was the biggest Korean movie of all time for a bit. If you want people to come to a director's movies, you want to associate them with something they're aware of even if they don't normally watch movies. "Highest-grossing movie" tends to be something everyone hears about.

The Host wasn't even released theatrically in America dude. Joe Public has never heard of The Host so I would put the name of his most critically acclaimed film on posters for his future films.

You must hate that movie. It's obviously his most recognized, which is the only reason I listed it from amongst his credits. They've just made an awful looking sequel which doesn't seem to happen to a lot of Korean films. Anyway, to tie into the topic his english language debut sounds pretty good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Piercer

They put it out in a limited release a few months before releasing the DVD, and it grossed a couple million bucks. All of his movies have played in America at some point. The Host is far and away the most successful.
